What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Belize Tourism Industry Association stated that its stakeholders oppose a new airport near Secret Beach and a bridge linking Ambergris Caye to Mexico. The association cited World Bank findings regarding unplanned growth, coastal erosion, pollution, and weak municipal services. Andre Perez, who represents Ambergris Caye, was present at the meeting and stated that while he supports a phased approach to closing John Greif II Airport and building a new one, the proposed northside airport requires public consultation.
